It is Estudiantes de la Plata’s turn to host their Copa Libertadores tie against Cerro Porteno in the round of 16. The Argentine side leads 1-0 from the first leg played a week ago and will be looking to wrap this up. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.
The closing stages of the first-leg meeting between these teams had a flare-up of emotions. After flashing out three yellow cards in a span of four minutes, a penalty was awarded in Estudiantes’ favor.
Santiago Ascacibar made no mistake, converting for a late winner. He will, however, be suspended for the return leg, while the team will be holding out for only a draw to proceed.
Cerro Porteno’s work is cut out after losing the home leg. It may look like a slim deficit, but it will take the Paraguayan side a lot to overturn it. This is because they have had a poor run in this competition.
In their last six Copa Libertadores matches, Cerro Porteno managed just one win and lost four. They went without scoring in those four losses, the most recent being the first leg of this tie.
The last time Cerro Porteno traveled for a Libertadores match, it ended in a 4-0 beating at Bolivar. They’ve failed to score in two of their last three away matches in the competition.
